• Crafts for Advent

• Mary on the Mantle: a Catholic version of elf on the shelf...help Mary travel through advent as she prepares for the birth of Jesus, and do things to spread the love of Christ along the way

• A Giving Manger: use a small box and have your kids place a single piece of hay/straw (or something like it) in the manger each time they make a sacrifice or do a good deed. The goal is to make it as comfortable for baby Jesus on Christmas as possible. Celebrate a good Advent by placing baby Jesus in the Manger on Christmas!
